To avoid further deterioration, the aging Tsukiji Market, known as the “kitchen” feeding Tokyo’s people, was moved to Toyosu in 2018.
Along with improving safety, observational tour routes were set up, making it easy for visitors to enter the market.
The market had been divided into 3 blocks. Courses have been set up for observing maguro tuna auctions in the Fisheries Wholesale Market Building, as well as in the Fruit and Vegetables Building, which has a visitor tour color-coded in seasonal produce.
The Fisheries Intermediate Wholesale Market Building features an observation gallery and shops selling items related to the market. From the rooftop, Tokyo tower may be seen. Since the fish auction starts at around 5:30 am, head there early in the morning.
